Alaskan King Crab Salad “Tacos”

April 30, 2012

  This is my last fish/seafood taco recipe for the month, so I decided to make it a good one.  (Not to discount the others, but this is easily my favorite so far.)  This time the challenge was to create our most original taco combo.  I was told this could be left somewhat up to [...]

Thai Quinoa, Millet, and Vegetable Salad

April 18, 2012

Grilled Wild Alaskan Black Cod Tacos with Pineapple-Bacon Relish

Chewy Banana Toblerone Cookies

April 11, 2012

Two months ago when I set out to find my perfect chewy banana cookie recipe I never stopped tinkering.  The version I came up with then got good reviews from family and friends and I liked the flavor and texture.  They were no muffin tops in disguise.  No, they were chewy and indulgent tasting, exactly [...]

Carrot and Goat’s Milk Cheddar Soup

April 4, 2012

Last week it was ice cream, but this week it’s all about soup.  It might seem a bit incongruent, but it’s pretty representative of the weather we’ve been having these days in Chicago.  Somedays it’s nothing but blinding sunshine and I find myself practically skipping to work in a dresses and open toe shoes.  Other [...]
